Ohio Valley and Central States. 




ITS ORIGIN AND A SKETCH OF ITS 
PROGRESS. 



3^^ HEN The Semi - Centennial Anni- 
4J- versary of the Settlement of the 
City of Cincinnati was celebrated in 1838, 
such was the success of the occasion, and 
the enthusiasm engendered thereby, that 
in good faith and with seeming zeal a 
committee Avas appointed to see to it ^'that 
the One Hundredth Anniversary of the 
^^ Settlement of Cincinnati, occurring in the 
year 1888, should be properly celebrated." 
That committee, it should be remembered 
with bowed heads, have long since sent

in their final report, and dissolved by the inevitable Destroyer; but 
their purpose, as a trust and great heritage, has passed down through 
revolving years, to their children and grandchildren, and in the Hun- 
dred Days Exposition of 1888, at Cincinnati, it will be conclusively 
shown that the spirit of local pride and national patriotism which 
inspired the venerable committee has been transmitted to their pos- 
terity, with all its force retained and its full meaning intensified. A 
single point is worthy of remark here. Such is human nature, ever 
buoyant, ever pursuing '' with eagerness the phantom of hope," that the 
element of death never enters as a factor in one's plans and machinations^ 
That committee thought not of the probabilities of the fifty years to come, 
but they had faith that what they planted and watered would yield fruit 
in its season. The evangel of higher and broader civilization than they 
dreamt of has been proclaimed throughout this Western Republic, and 
in the lapse of fifty years, from 1838, the five States which make up the 
great Northwestern Territory, have arisen into the potentiality of em- 
pire, recording one-third of the population of the whole country within 
its limits, and possessing half the wealth. 

Mindful of the past, the " Senatus-Consultu " of that committee of 
1838, and the prosperity of the last half century, the Ohio Mechanics' 
Institute Fairs, and their royal ofisprings, the Industrial Fairs of Cincin- 
nati, the Centennial Exposition was projected, and became a fixed pur- 
pose as early as 1883. It was to be an attest of the development of art, 
science, and industry in a century of the Northwestern Territory. Form- 
erly the Ohio Mechanics' Institute Fairs had drawn only from the city of 
Cincinnati and the tributary regions in its vicinity. And so successful 
were they, from the first, to the year when they were abandoned pending 
the Civil War, that when in 1868 they were revived, it was under a more 
enlarged scope, and compatible with the stupendous strides which had been 
made in every field of industry. The Ohio Mechanics' Institute Fair 
was merged into the Annual Cincinnati Industrial Expositions, the Me- 
chanics' Institute summoning to their aid the Chamber of Commerce and 
the Board of Trade. The Directory was made up of five members from 
each of the bodies interested, and the Expositions since then have been 
wellnigh continuous, with unvaried success. In time the temporary 
structure where the Expositions were formerly held, gave way to a pala- 
tial Music Hall, with its circumjacent buildings, at a cost of one million 
dollars ; and, therefore, when the Centennial year came, and the gTeat 
Exposition was determined upon, the descendants of that committee of 
'38 were prepared. 

The preliminary work of preparation for the present Exposition has 
been long under way. A recital of the several steps which have led to 
the evolving of the permanent comprehensive plan now to be carried

out, would involve a mass of details of interest only to those upon whose 
shoulders this great task has fallen. It is sufficient to state, that from 
1883 to 1888, every effort has been directed toward the perfecting and 
execution of plans upon a basis which would be in accordance with the 
dignity of the occasion. 

The Centennial Exposition of the Ohio Valley and Central 
States will draw from the farthest confines of civilization. It includes 
not only the legend of the Queen City, but the story of the growth and 
development of the States of the Northwestern Territory and those which 
border upon the Ohio, and even farther to the South. 

The Exposition, although national in character, of vast extent and 
capacity, is supported by a guarantee fund offered by citizens of Cincin- 
nati sufficient to carry out the enterprise, and in no instance has a sub- 
sidy or financial aid of any kind been solicited of, or received from, mu-- 
nicipal, State or Federal sources. 

It is a great private undertaking for public welfare, from which no 
person or persons could receive one iota of financial benefit. It is pro-

per to say, that while the State of Ohio has voted a sum for the purpose 
of making its own exhibit, and the Federal Government has done the 
same, yet the aggregate amount, reaching over one million dollars, which 
this Exposition will cost, has been furnished by the people of Cincinnati; 
not even the municipal government itself making any contributions what- 
soever. Immediately after the determination of the Exposition Board 
was reached, early in the year 1887, the Common Council of the city 
passed resolutions indorsing the project and appointed commissioners to 
represent the city. Following this, the City Councils of Covington and 
Newport, Ky., passed similar resolutions, thus combining for a common 
enterprise the three adjoining and sister cities, containing within their 
boundaries more than half a million souls. 

On the 15th of February, 1887, the Legislature of Ohio passed the 
following resolutions : 

"Whereas, In the year 1888 will occur the one hundredth anniversary of the 
first settlement of the Northwestern Territory and the State of Ohio, and as such 
anniversary will be of great interest, especially to the people of this and the Central 



6 ' OFFICIAL GUIDE OF THE . 

States of the Union, and should be appropriately observed and- celebrated in order 
that the progress of the century may be noted ; and, - 

" Whereas, No better way can be devised for such purpose than by "an Exposi- 
tion of Agriculture, Mechanics, Commerce and' Art, to be held in a city near the 
center of population and most accessible to our sister States ; and, 

"Whereas, The city of Cincinnati is so situated, and is the proper place for 
holding such Exposition; and, whereas, the Chamber of Commerce, the Board of 
Trade, and the Ohio Mechanics' Institute of that city have undertaken the organi- 
zation and carrying on of 'The Centennial Exposition of the Ohio Valley and 
Central States,' to be held in Cincinnati in the year 1888, and have appointed a 
Board of Commissioners of leading citizens of that city for such purpose ; and, 
whereas, said bodies and said commissioners have petitioned the General Assembly 
for its approval of and co-operation in said undertaking; therefore, be it 

^^ Resolved hy the General Assembly of the State of OhiOy That hereby there be ex- 
tended to 'The Centennial Exposition of the Ohio Valley and Central States,', to be 
held in the city of Cincinnati in the C3ntennial year, 1888, the hearty approval and 
support of this body, the people of the State of Ohio; and in their behalf we ask 
for this Board and Exposition the co-operation and support of the Federal Govern- 
ment, and our sister States, and especially the Central States of the Union. ■ - ' 

'^ Resolved, That the Governor of this State be requested and empowered to ap- 
point five honorary Commissioners from the State of Ohio to represent the State in 
the preparation for and carrying on of this Centennial Exposition. 

"Resolved, That the General Assembly of the State of Ohio ask, for the support ^of 
this great undertaking, the assistance and co-operation of the Federal Government, 
our sister States, and especially the Central States of West Virginia, Pennsylvania, 
Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan, and that they be requested to 
appoint five honorary Commissioners each, to assist in the organization and carrying 
on of this Centennial Exposition. 

"Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be furnished the President and Con- 
gress of the United States, the Executive and Legislatures of the several States, and 
that in the name of the State of Ohio the Governor be requested to solicit of the 
several States and Government immediate action." 

In conformity with these resolutions the Governor of Ohio issued in- 
vitations to other States, and- in response the Legislatures of the Cen- 
tral States passed formal resolutions of acceptance. Honorary Commis- 
sioners were appointed therefrom, which, with the Governors of these 
States, the Goyernor of Ohio, and the Commissioners from Cincinnati 
and other cities, constituted the Board under whose charge the (^enten- 
nial Exposition is held. And thus are united in one great undertaking 
mighty cities and States* ' ' .v:,.' ■ '; - - . ' . _. . 

Ill order to insure success,' the citizens of Cincinnati, with but ILttle; 
effort, raised and contributed to the enterprise as a guarantee fund .the 
nia^nificent sum; of one million and fifty thousand dollars, and thus so 
Substantially backed, the Board of Commissioners, since the beginning 
of this organization in 1887, worked actively to carry out the. enter- 
prise. Much thought and attention was given to the location of the 
buildings. 

Permanent Exposition buildings have been erected in the heart of 
the city at an expense of one million dollars. After much deliberation, 
it was concluded to make these buildings the nucleus of the Exposition. 
Opposite these buildings was the open ground, known as Washington 
Park, a delightful and cooling retreat for the residents of its neighborhoods 



CINCINXATI CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION. 



In the rear of the permanent Exposition buildings is the Miami Canal, with 
a broad street upon each side. The consent of the Board of Public Af- 
fairs having been obtained, the citizens of the neighborhood yielded 
their prejudices, even in the instance of those upon Plum street, to 
their great inconvenience, and Washington Park became the site of the 
Main Exhibition Hall, two stories in height, cruciform in construction, 
extending 600 feet one way by 110 feet the other, and 400 by 110 in its 
cross section. Herein are the capacious and luxurious restaurants and 
cafes, and the offices for the various committees. 

The United States Government occupies one whole wing of this 
building, and this space assigned still being insufficient, additional space 
was demanded. In accordance therewith, on the 13th of June contracts 
were let for the preparation of the annexes to this Washington Park 




PERMANENT EXPOSITION BUILDINGS. 

building, each about 150 by 120 feet, and all completed ready for occu- 
pancy on the first of July. These buildings alone are larger than those 
occupied by previous Expositions. The Washington Park building 
is connected with the permanent buildings by a covered bridge over 
Elm street. In the permanent buildings are Horticultural Hall, Pio- 
neer Hall, Entertainment Hall, Education Hall, Women's Hall, and 
other halls devoted to special displays. In the rear of this building and 
immediately connecting therewith is the Machinery Hall, used for the 
mechanical display. It extends from Twelfth to Fifteenth street, a dis- 
tance of 1,300 feet, with a width of 140, spanned by four bridges, and 
at either end are vast restaurants. 

The space occupied by these buildings is greater than that covered 
by any building for exhibiting purposes on the Western continent.

The fifteen Commissioners appointed by the representative Boards 
of Cincinnati, constitute the Executive Board of the Exposition. The 
Honorary Commissioners appointed by various municipalities and States 
and elected by the Board, constitute the Advisory Board. 

Upon the fifteen Commissioners devolve the greater part of the 
labor in connection with this enterprise. They are assisted by Asso- 
ciate Commissioners and Honorary Commissioners. 

The buildings were contracted for in October, 1887, and completed 
March 31, 1888. On that day they were appropriately dedicated to 
Exposition purposes in the presence of one hundred thousand citizens. 

In October, 1887, the first meeting of the active and honorary Com- 
missioners took place, followed by a pleasant dinner at the Burnet House. 
In December following, the second meeting of the active and honorary 
Commissioners took place, followed by a banquet at the Grand Hotel. 

June 9, 1888, the Press Headquarters were formally dedicated in 
the building, followed by a banquet at the Gibson House. ^ 

The Commissioners have extended their thanks to the various con- 
tractors and architects, who have, by their skill and energy, finished the 
buildings in Avhich the Exposition is held. 

Washington Park building and annexes were erected under the 
supervision of H. E. Siter, architect, and J. W. Cotteral & Co., con- 
tractors ; Machinery Hall, under the direction of J. W. McLaughlin, 
architect, and Goldkamp & Carter, contractors. 



WASHINGTON PARK BUILDING 



This building has been designed to fill all the requirements of a 
structure intended for exhibition purposes, both in respect to the treat- 
ment of the exterior and in regard to the arrangement of the interior. 
It has been the intention of the architect to make a strong, substantial, 
economical structure and at the same time of a conspicuous design. 
The building is built in the shape of a cross, the idea in the first place 
being to leave the four corners of the park unobstructed, but when the 
Government made an appropriation for an exhibit, it was found that the 
space set apart for it was entirely inadequate, and therefore additions 
have been made to the building in the north-east and south-east 
corners. The dimensions of the building as it now stands are as follows : 
The main building from Pleasant street to 12th St. is 600 feet long by 
400 feet ; from Bace to Elm, each wing 110 feet wide, Avith a Restaurant 



CINCIXNATT CEXTEXXIAL EXPOSITION. 9 

wing 80 by 125, on Elm St. The dimensions of additions recently 
built for the Goverment exhibit are, on the north-east corner, 128 by 
138 feet, and ou the south-east corner, 100 by 150 feet. This makes a 
total area of floor space in the Park building of about 245,500 square 
feet. Entrances have been provided on 12th, Race and Elm Sts., each 
entrance being flanked by large and imposing towers. At the intersec- 
tion of the wings in the center there is placed a central feature, consist- 
ing of an octagonal tower, the extreme height of which from the first 
floor is about 150 feet. This tower can be seen from any part of the 
city, and will be illuminated at night by electric lights. On the Plea- 
sant St. end of the building is placed the electric light plant, separated 
from the main building by a glass partition, so that the interior 
machinery can be viewed by visitors. 

The Restaurant occupies a wing at right angles with the Electric 
Light Department, being placed on the second story of said wing w4th a 
broad, easy flight of stairs leading to it, and also provided with a passen- 
ger elevator. In connection with the restaurant a kitchen has been 
built, 50 by 60 feet, and a balcony running entirely around the room, 
where those who prefer the open air can sit and be served. In the east, 
west and south wings of the building. there is a second story 50 feet 
wide, which is reached by ample stair cases and several elevators. The 
buildings throughout are fully lighted so that there is no place where the 
finest exhibit cannot be plainly seen. And especial attention has been 
given to the ventilation. An ornate bridge, 25 feet wide, connects the 
buildings on Elm St. at the restaurant wing, wdth the Music Hall. 

The architect of this building was Mr. H. E. Siter, of Cincinnati. 

The northern wing of the building is occupied by the various offices 
necessary for the transaction of daily routine business ; near the bridge 
(eastern terminus) are the finely furnished rooms of the Ohio State 
Commissioners. The Ohio Commissioners are Gov. J. B. Foraker, 
Columbus ; Hon. John C. Covert, Cleveland ; Hon. Chri^. Kinsinger, 
Cincinnati; Hon. Wm. Ronsheim, Cincinnati; Hon. F. C. Whiley, Lan- 
caster ; Hon. Elisha B. Hubbard, Tiffin ; Hon. J. G. Butler, Youngs- 
town; Hon. A. J. Warner, Marietta; Hon. Oliver Outcalt, Cincinnati; 
Hon. John M. Thomas, Springfield ; Hon. A. L. Frazer, Clermont 
County ; Hon. Nathan Drucker and Hon. John Simpkinson. 

Opposite is the hospital, where persons indisposed are taken for 
treatment. Adjoining the Ohio State Commissioners' office is the office 
of the Printing and Advertising Committee, A. B. Champion, Chairman ; 
Col. Morton L. Hawkins, Press Agent; next, on the east, is the 
office of the Chief of Police ; next, the Bureau of Information. On the 
opposite side are the telegraph and telephone offices, the office of the

Department of State, and Rules, Jurors and Awards, and a room for 
reporters, and the private dining room of the Commissioners. On the 
extreme eastern end of this row of offices is a door near the elevator 
connecting the restaurant, leading into the south-western portion of 
the park, where visitors can retire to eat their lunch and enjoy the 
shade of the trees, while reclining on benches provided for that purpose. 
On either side of the Elm street bridge are steps leading to the park. 
A couple of staircases were also placed on the eastern end of the bridge 
for the convenience of those who wish to ascend to the restaurant. 
The Park Building has several exits and entrances ; one each on Elm 
street, one each on 12th street, and the like number on Race street- 
The principal entrance however, is on 12th street. 

A fine view of the city can be had from the upper story of this 
building, and thousands of people avail themselves of the opportunity 
of getting a glimpse of the Queen City from this" altitude. The building 
contains the Industrial Display, proper, and the elaborate and exhaus- 
tive Government Exhibit, the largest ever made in this country ; and, 
also, the display of the Government of Ontario. On either side of the 
fountain is an elevator connecting with the upper and lower stories. 
The upper story is principally devoted to the piano display and 
exhibits of furniture. In this section also will be found the elegantly 
furnished room of the Cincinnati Press Club. Opposite the last men- 
tioned is the work-room of the Printing and Advertising Department, 
Edward C. Cullen, General Advertising Agent. 



MACHINERY HALL. 



This building is erected in the rear of the present Music Hall, on 
Plum St., and is nearly a quarter of a mile in length, extending trom 
12th St. on the South to 15th St. on the North, a distance of 1,248 feet. 

The extreme width of the structure at either end is 114 feet, but for 
a distance of 400 feet in length in the center, widens out to 150 feet in 
width, connecting with Music Hall. 

The central nave over the canal is 41 feet wide and 40 feet high 
from the water to the roof trusses, each of the side aisles is 36 feet 6 
inches wide, except on the east side, 400 feet of this aisle is 72 feet in

width. These aisles are devoted to the machinery exhibit, and are con- , 
nected by four bridges crossing the canal. 

At the North and South ends of the building are pavilions, each 
214 feet square, with lofty ceilings; the southern pavilion also has a 
refreshment hall, 41 feet wide, and extending north 144 feet. 

The floors of these pavilions are raised 14 feat above the level of 
machinery hall, supported on heavy trusses spanning the canal. The 
pavilions are open, allowing an uninterrupted view of the water, which, 
with the gondolas and other water crafts, will present a truly Venetian 
scene. 

The building is well lighted in the day time by a continuous row of 
clerestory windows in the central nave and upon the exterior of the side 
aisles, and at night, by innumerable jets of gas and electric lights, the 
roof arches, placed every 16 feet, being clearly reflected in the water 
beneath. 

The views in this building, from the end pavilions or the bridges, 
are something entirely unique. The designer w^as Mr. Jas. W. Mc- 
Laughlin, Architect, of Cincinnati. 



THE ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT. 



At the Centennial Exposition held in Philadelphia in 1876, electric 
lighting was unknown, and as a consequence the buildings could only 
be opened in the day time. Illumination by means of this subtile agent 
had shown promise in the form of what was little more than a labora- 
tory toy, but it remained for the workers of the succeeding decade to 
curb it, harness it and make it a new servant in the industrial field. 

The Commissioners recognizing the vast progress which had been 
made in this field, and knowing that in no other way could the immense 
buildings be lighted so as to make them attractive to the people who 
attend the Exposition in the evening, determined to make a special 
feature of electric lighting, and created a special department fjr the 
purpose, placing at its head Mr. W. K. Gray, of Cincinnati, an Elec- 
trical Engineer of wide experience, who planned the entire plant, the 
details of the construction being under the supervision of Mr. Luke 
Lilley, of Cincinnati, the Superintendent of Light. ' 

Mr. Gray formulated a novel plan, which has proved an admirable 
one in bringing about the desired result. Instead of contracting with 
some one company to furnish the light, as has usually been done, he 



14 



OFFICIAL GUIDE OF THE 



succeeded in induc- 
ing several compan- 
ies to make exhibits 
of their apparatus, 
placing the same 
under the control of 
the Commissioners 
to be used for illum- 
ination. 

In this way a va- 
riety of exhibits 
was obtained and 
the light was pro- 




duced very cheaply. The 
same plan was adopted in the 
case of the power plant. 

The Laidlaw & Dunn Machinery Company, 
Cincinnati, furnished two Galloway boilers of 
300-horse power each. 

The Buckeye Engine Company, of Salem, '* •' ^^ 

0.,,:One 250-horse power engine, and one 125-horse power engine. 



CINCINNATI CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION. 15 

The Atlas Engine Company, of Indianapolis, one 200-horse power 
engine. 

Russell & Co., of Massillon, 0., one 125-horse power engine. 

The Ball Engine Company, of Erie, Pa., one 125-horse power 
engine. 

The Waterhouse Electric Company, of Hartford, Conn., eight 
thirty-light arc dynamos and two hundred and thirty arc lights. 

The Western Electric Company, of Chicago, 111., eight 30-arc light 
dynamos and two hundred and twenty-five arc lights. 

The Mather Electric Company, of Manchester, Conn., the First 
Cincinnati Edison Illuminating Company, of Cincinnati, and the Queen 
City Electric Compan}^, of Cincinnati, two 500 light incandescent, 
dynamos and one thousand lamps each. 

All of the above machinery, except the Ball engine and the Queen 
City Co.'s plants are located in the north wing of the Park Building, 
and form one of the special features of the same. 

While comprising one plant the apparatus of the different com- 
panies is not combined, so that each forms an exhibit the same as if in 
separate spaces. 

The Waterhouse Lamps are used for lighting the Park Building, 
about 120 lamps being required for this purpose alone, and also the 
Government Exhibit, the second floor of the Pioneer Hall, the Dome of 
the Park Building and all the outside lighting east of Elm Street. 

The Western Electric Co.'s lamps are used for lighting the Canal 
Building, about 180 lamps being required, and also for the first floor of 
the Pioneer Hall, Horticultural Hall and all outside lighting west of 
Elm Street. 

The Mather Incandescent Lamps are distributed through the upper 
floors of the Music Hall Building, about 500 being in the Art Gallery, 
and the balance in the Educational Department on the third floor of 
the building in Dexter Hall, the Commissioners' office, etc. 

The Edison Lamps are used for displays in show cases and pavil- 
lions of exhibitors in the Park Building. 

The plant of the Queen City Co., driven by the Ball engine, is 
located in the west end of Pioneer Hall, and the lamps are used for 
decorations and illumination in the Music Hall and its corridors. 

A special feature of the Exposition is the outside illumination, and 
the arrangement of the 100 arc lamps used has been very effective. 
The streets are brilliantly lighted with 2000 candle power lamps, the 
faces of the buildings are decorated with rows of lamps, and above all 
is 24,000 candle power of light shed over the buildings, outlining their 
forms from the circle of lamps on the Dome. 



CIXCrXXATI CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION. 17 

In addition to all of this the Commissioners arranged for novelty 
displays, such as the colored decorations in the Horticultural Hall, the 
Revolving Garden, Christmas Trees, and the Fountain in the Park 
Building, the number of lamps used being about 2000, the whole display 
being something new in this part of the country and making a very 
striking feature of the Exposition. 



THI: ORDINANCE OF 1787, 



The memorable ordinance of July 13, 1787, not only fixed by metes 
and bounds the great domain of the North Avestern Territory, and carved 
out of it the three pioneer States, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, with pro- 
visions for a further subdivision into two more, but also established 
therein forever the incontrovertible principles of absolute liberty of 
thought and action which characterize American citizenship to-day: 
By act of the first Congress assembled, (approved August 7, 1789,) the 
binding force of this ordinance was formally recognized, and its pro- 
visions adopted by the Federal Congress. Under its wise and beneficent 
measures the population of the Northwestern Territory has increased 
to nearly 20,000.000, or one-third of that of the whole United States, 
vast industries have been fostered and developed therein, the arts and 
sciences have flourished, and, in a word, it has become the great pro- 
ducing center of the nation. 

It may not be uninteresting at this time to examine cursorily, but 
with as much care as time and space will allow, into the various features 
of this ordinance w^hich have resulted in so much public benefit ; and 
first, briefly, as to its origin : 

Pass over the disputed possession of this territory by England and 
France, and take for a point of departure the period succeeding the close 
of the War of Independence. The controversies between the several 
States as to the right of possession need no reflections at this time. 
The period of the organization of the Ohio Company in New England, 
in 1786, is the one which weighs upon us at this time. They were vet- 
erans in that pioneer syndicate, and in the far West they hoped to 
retrieve their fortunes sacrificed in their seven years' struggle for their 
liberties. The first purchase was" a million and a half acres, " lying on 
the Ohio, including the mouths of the Muskingum and Hockhocking, 
for a million dollars." The first settlement was at Marietta. The sec- 
ond purchase resulted in the sale of 311,682 acres between the Great and

Little Miamis. These were the beginning of the settlement of the 
Northwestern Territory; the first antedated, the last was subsequent to, 
the date of the Ordinance of 1787. The demand for these lands called 
the attention of Congress to the necessity of a proper government for 
the new territory ; hence the ordinance. '' The framer," says Salmon 
P. Chase, in his Statutes of Ohio, '' and, as to some most important 
provisions, the author of this great fundamental law, destined to exert 
a mighty and enduring influence upon the happiness and prosperity of 
millions, was Nathan Dane of Massachusetts." 




VIEW IN SECOND STORY PARK BUILDING, LOOKING SOUTH. 

The first provision established the territory in one territory, with 
the proviso that it may be divided into two districts should Congress at 
any time thereafter deem it expedient. The second provided for the 
descent of the intestates' estate, the disposition of estates by will, of 
real estate by deed, and the transfer of personal property. The third 
established the territorial government, prescribing its duties and powers 
and terms of service of the incumbents. Tlio fourth stipulated certain 
■articles of compact between the original States and the people and 
States in the territory ; and in six articles hereunder declares in favor 
of religious liberty; secure the benefit of habeus corpus, trial by jury. 



CINCINNATI CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION. 19 

representation of the people and judicial proceeding according to the 
course of the common law ; encourages education and the inculcation 
of religious and moral principles. It also ordains that the territory and 
States formed therefrom are to remain a part of the Union, and are 
subject to its or their proportion of the Federal debts. It limits the 
number of States to three and fixes their bounds ; but it also provides 
that from the northern portions of the Western and Central States two 
others may be portioned oif, and no more ; and, moreover, this power of 
laying off one or more States is reserved to Congress. It also declares 
under what circumstances of time and population any State may be 
admitted to the Union. The sixth article prohibits forever the existence 
of slavery or involuntary servitude within the Northwestern Territory, 
otherwise than for crime, and only then after due conviction. 

It can scarcely be comprehended, even after a studious reading of 
this profound document, how much wisdom and learning is therein em- 
bodied. It should be remembered that at the time when the Ordinance 
of 1787 was elaborated, the thirteen colonial States were bound together 
only by the slender tie of empiricism ; that a government of the people, 
for the people and by the people was still to be built out of a confeder- 
acy of colonies established primarily for the purposes of common de- 
fense against one of the most imposing monarchies of that age ; and 
that even within two years from the date of this Ordinance of 1787, the 
original articles of that colonial confederation were abandoned for the 
perennial constitution of the United States, which has survived the 
mutations of time, through peace and war, union and discord, and 
under which the American people have now wrought out for themselves 
a perpetuation of their republican kingship. But examine, if you 
please, the grasp of intellect and provident regard with which that 
colonial Solon has framed each proposition. Take for instance the 
formation of the territorial government as suggested in the ordinance. 
The Governor, until the territory shall become a State, is appointed by 
Congress. The Legislature is composed of two bodies, the Legislative 
Council and the House of Representatives. The latter are to hold office 
by virtue of a popular franchise ; the former, five in number, are to be 
selected by Congress from ten names nominated to that body by the 
Territorial Governor. In this instance the General Government main- 
tains an interest in the dependent territory. Again, under the present 
constitution — that government, " acre perennium " to the memory of 
Alexander Hamilton — the United States Senators are elected by the 
State Legislatures, because, as the great statesman laid down, " such a 
course favors select appointments and gives to the State Governments 
such an agency in the formation of the Federal Government as must 
secure the authority of the former and form a convenient link between 
the two systems."

If now it be considered under what a strain each component State 
of the first confederacy was placed, is it not unfair to assume that the 
forming of this ordinance was no easy task, because the distinction be- 
tween a State and its sovereignty, and its allegiance to the Union of 
States had not been definitely fixed; and there was danger that if an 
unwise precedent be established it might add to the prejudice of the 
Union ; as it was, the ordinance was passed by a unanimous voice. 

Likewise, in the organization of the militia, the same care is ob- 
served to discriminate between the government's relation to the terri- 
tory, and the rights of the territory or virtually of the new State. " The 
Governor for the time being shall be commander-in-chief of the militia, 
appoint and commission all ofiicers of the same below the rank of gen- 
eral officers. All general officers shall be appointed and commissioned by 
Congress." 

Again : '' The Governor, Judges, Legislative Council, Secretary 
and such other officers as Congress shall appoint in the district, shall 
take an oath or affirmation of fidelity, and of office — the Governor before 
the President of Congress, and all other officers before the Governor. 
As soon as a Legislature shall be formed in the district, the Council and 
House, assembled in one room, shall have authority by joint ballot to 
elect a delegate to Congress," etc. 

The six succeeding articles are the fundamental principles of our 
civil and religious liberty, upon which has been erected this great 
modern republic. And the perpetual prohibition of slavery from this 
favored realm, has obtained to the development of our institutions, 
the expansion of our industries, and to a general prosperity unexcelled, 
if not unequalled, throughout the land. 

And who were the settlers ? It was stated in the beginning that they 
were veterans who had come out of the Revolutionary War, with the 
honorable scars of many a hard fought contest, their swords, and some 
well-nigh irredeemable certificates. They had given the best part of 
their lives to the struggle for liberty, and, with nothing but their un- 
daunted spirit, they went out to help build up the heritage they had won 
by their valor. They came from Saratoga, and Camden, Yorktown, and 
Eutaw, and from the swamps of the Santee and Wateree. 

The fame of the Northwestern Territory had come to them long 
since. De Soto, 250 years before, had penetrated to the headwaters of 
the Mississippi, but his accounts then were regarded as fabulous. 
Daniel Boone, the intrepid huntsman of the Dark and Bloody Ground, 
had passed a tedious and unwilling sojourn in the easterly portion, and 
returned only to praise the land of his captivity. 

And so a contract was made for a million and a half acres lying on 
the Ohio, the Muskingum, and Hockhocking Rivers ; General Rufus

Putnam entered upon it with a band of sturdy veterans, and from their 
primitive collection of rude cabins has been built up the city of Marietta. 
Then came General John Cleves Symmes, and Israel Ludlow, Robert 
Caldwell, Scott Treverse, and Even Shelby, the latter with the smoke 
of King's Mountain in his eyes, and the shouts of the Watonga moun- 
taineers still ringing in his ears. And from their suiFerings and hard- 
ships, planning and planting, has grown up the city of Cincinnati, 
which for sixty years was the metropolitan, and is, to-day, the Queen 
City of the West.

A Glimpse at the Last Century. 



Two great warpaths once led the way from the great lakes and the 
seaboard to the dark and bloody battle grounds of Kentucky. They 
met at a point on the Ohio, opposite the mouth of the Licking River, 
and here, in the stillness of midnight, under the cover of darkness, once 
the red man, coming down by either path, crossed over the Ohio to re- 
turn with the barbaric trophies of his prowess at arms, or to leave his 
bones to whiten where he fell. Such is the fortune of war. 

To-day, two main arteries of traffic mark the courses of these respec- 
tive warpaths to their place of meeting ; the one tends direct from the 
north, from the western shore of Lake Erie ; the other follows the mean- 
derings of the Little Miami River, coming from far beyond its source. 
The supremacy of this convergent point of warpath then and iron high- 
ways now, both the barbarian and his enlightened successor have ac- 
knowledged; and in the transition from barbarism to enlightenment, 
this rallying point has become a center of population, industry and 
wealth. Here is to-day the city of Cincinnati. Within a radius of five 
miles from its business center are half a million of peojjle, and in the 
lapse of a century, this community has kept pace with the development 
of civilization. " There are few nations in the world," writes Dr. John- 
son, "more talked of and less known than the Chinese." With some 
allowance, the same maybe said of this city; that it may have boon 
outstripped in population within the last quarter of a century, in a fcAV 
instances, is true ; but for substantiality of progress and development, it 
is outranked by none. There is, however, not a little truth in the pro- 
position of the eminent English scholar, above quoted, in its bearing 
upon this city ; that it is more talked of, and less known than many 
other centers of population. And this is proven in the general expres- 
sions of many who come here, having visited all the prominent cities of 
America and the old world. " We expected," they say, " to find a 
thriving western city; but what is more, w^e find an advanced American 
metropolis, cultivated, refined, and wealthy, whose leading business men 
are energetic, enterprising, and public spirited." 

What are the chief causes of prosperity in the city of Cincinnati, is a 
question w^hich will admit of an unlimited number of answ^ers. A brief 
glance at the history of this city may allow the reader to draw his OAvn 
conclusions. 




SCENES IN HORTICULTURAL HALL. 



CINCINNATI CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION. 25 

The earliest annals of Cincinnati are too well known to require a 
minute recital. In brief, it was first settled under the name of Losanti- 
ville, in December, 1788, by Israel Ludlow, with a score and more of 
fellow pioneers. Governor St. Clair, three years afterward, came to the 
settlement, established the first judicial court, and changed the name to 
Cincinnati, after the historic military order, of which he was a member. 

It had its historic age. The clear ring of the forester's axe alternated 
with the sharp crack of his rifle; the clearing of forests and the build- 
ing up of the settlement Avas not accomplished without loss of life. 
And at one time, so frequent was the latter, during the terrible war 
that preceded the avenging crusade of Mad Anthony Wayne, that the 
population became decimated, and the survivors suffered the gravest 
discouragements. 

But that was an intrepid race that came down " La Belle Riviere " 
in flat-boats ; and, although the Indian troubles stifled for a period the 
influx of settlers, and now and then lessened their numbers, the sur- 
viving frontiersmen, undaunted, fought out for themselves and their 
posterity the blessings of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. 

The first quarter of a century of the young settlement witnessed also 
the rise of a spirit for home manufactures. The prejudices against 
articles of foreign manufacture early took deep root in the American 
mind, and nowhere with more vehemence than among those early 
pioneers, who, at the close of the Eevolution, sought for new homes in 
the boundless west. Again, the frontier town of Cincinnati was far 
remote from the borders of civilization ; in the first years of its settle- 
ment but a very infrequent communication was enjoyed with the east, 
and for many years this lone settlement had enough to think of in 
thinning the forests and clearing out the savages, without ofiering 
inducements for mutual intercourse, commercial, social, and otherwise, 
with its far-away neighbors. 

The gradual settlement of the city and vicinity, however, brought the 
village into a closer relationship with the east ; the dawn of prosperity 
begot a longing for higher cultivation and refinement, and this evinced 
a demand for home industries. The old prejudice against English ma- 
nufactures was still in vogue, and so far as was possible, these were sub- 
stituted by those of home manufacture. And right here was instituted 
that energy, enterprise, and public spirit for which the city of Cincin- 
nati was ever afterward noted. It stopped, for no obstacles, it knew no 
discouragements, it acknowledged no defeats. Thirty years after, with 
a population of less than 10,000, there were more than two hundred 
shops, manufactories, and foundries, and one-sixth of the villagers were 
the operators. The manfactures were diversified ; there were woolen 
manufactories, boots and shoes, hardware, knives, harness *ind saddlery 



CINCINNATI CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION. 27 

— every thing needed, not only there, but in many instances on demand 
in the east. 

Ten years later, in 1828, with a population more than double, the 
leading citizens recognizing the value of intelligent and skilled labor, 
proposed and at once organized an institution for the benefit of the 
laboring classes, under the name of the Ohio Mechanics' Institute. 
This institution has not only survived all the vicissitudes of time, but 
has gathered strength and grown in usefulness. It has been the ready 
coadjutor of the infant industries of Cincinnati and the Ohio Yalley, 
and at the same time it has been the temple of knowledge to thousands 
of the working classes, many of whom, through the inspiration imbibed 
within its threshold, have arisen to honor and affluence throughout the 
land. 

'' Some of the noblest men of Cincinnati," says a daily paper, " have 
come up through these ancient halls of the Institute." "No money 
would repay me," saj^s an eminent teacher, *^for going there for two 
hours at night, as I have done for six years ; it is a pleasure to help 
these worthy boys upon their feet." 

Ten 3^ears later, in 1838, the industries had grown to such an extent 
the people demanded an exhibit of their progress from the heroic to the 
industrial age. Hence, the first industrial fair in America, if not in 
the world; and for twenty years the Ohio Mechanics' Institute Fairs 
became proverbial for their acknowledged influence upon the growing 
industries of the Ohio Valley, as well as for the endless profit and 
pleasure combined they afforded. The first fair was held at a once 
famous resort known as Madame Trollope's Bazar, on Third Street, near 
the corner of Broadway. 

At the close of 1858, the shadows of a great contest coming, caused 
the abandonment of the Mechanics' Institute Fairs, to be revived again 
ten years later under ne^er, larger, and more auspicious circumstances 
than ever before. Cincinnati had long been recognized as the Queen 
City of the West- and this honor had come to her more from her own 
home industries than from any accretion she had derived through other 
cities. The Board of Managers of the Mechanics' Institute at this 
time, 1868, called a joint meeting of the members of the Chamber of 
Commerce and the Board of Trade, and this tripartite syndicate, com- 
posed of the energy, genius, and capital of the city, established a per- 
manent exposition of the industrial arts of Cincinnati, whose brillifint 
record needs no recital now — whose medal carries with it the attributive 
mark of excellence. 

Thus it may be recognized that the history" of Cincinnati from its 
primitive settlement is a record of industrial development. And a 
uursory examination of the statistics of growth will show that these 



20 OFFICIAL GUIDE OF THE 

home industries, varied and of paramount interest to every section of 
the country, developed enormously. And, moreover, the interest 
which this city took in the creation and maintenance of a river com- 
merce added fresh laurels to those she had received in other enterprises. 

But industry and commerce were not the only vocation by which her 
citizens arose to honor and affluence. The development of her indus- 
tries brought prosperity, prosperity was accompanied by affluence, in a 
few instances beyond the greatest expectations. The pioneer fathers 
had builded well. Affluence brought ambition for education, refine- 
ment, and luxuries. The Mechanics' Institute fostered a taste for the 
arts and sciences, music and the fine arts obtained a footing. The public 
school system, private institutions of education for the cultivation of 
music, painting, and the fine arts arose, and the Queen City early took 
her position in the van of culture and refinement. And there were 
not wanting those, who out of their affluence, dealt out bountifully to 
the benefit of the public. 

The success of the Mechanics' Institute Fairs, during the twenty 
years of their continuance, as beforesaid, encouraged the managers to 
still more expanded efforts ; the establishment of the Industrial Exposi- 
tion of Cincinnati followed, and such was the success of this last enter- 
prise, that when two years since the subject of an exposition which 
would be pertinent to the importance of the centennial year not only 
of this city but also of the Ohio Yalley and the great Northwestern 
Territory was proposed, it was followed by immediate action. 

The far-famed Music Hall and its accessory buildings, capacious as 
they were, must be reinforced by still more commodious edifices ; and 
with the first efforts to create the necessary fund for the erection of the 
additional structures, and the capitalizing of the new enterprise, the Cen- 
tennial Exposition of the Ohio Yalley and the Central States was 
organized under the most auspicious beginnings. 

The Board of Commissioners, with its honorary members, was con- 
stituted as follows :

One million and fifty thousand dollars w^as raised among the busi-

ing the additional buildings begun without delay. L'pon the first of 
June, and some weeks prior thereto, every thing was in readiness, the 
buildings completed at a cost of $250,000, and paid for; every foot of 
space taken up, and all that remained to do was the receiving of the ex- 
hibits, their classification and arrangement. 

It is difficult to imagine the endless amount of detail embraced with- 
in the preliminary work of preparation, and space does not permit of its

recital. It is sufficient to state, however, that from the beginning to the 
end the work has been executed without retardation or confusion. 

The Exposition is held in three immense structures, arid its organi- 
zation embraces seventeen different departments. The Park Hall, Music 
Hall, and its associate buildings, and Machinery Hall, aiford an availa- 
ble exhibiting space of 950,000 square feet; Park Hall is cruciform in 
shape. Machinery Hall is constructed over the canal, 1,300 feet long and 
150 feet wide, and Music Hall, with Horticultural Hall to the south, and 
Pioneer Hall to the north, makes up the boundaries of the Centennial 
Exposition.

EXHIBIT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE. 

Haughwout Howe, Representative. 

The walls of the space allotted to this Department are adorned with 
numerous relics and curiosities, while the cases are filled with docu- 
ments and relics of Historical interest. A document which will attract 
intense interest is the first diplomatic communication of the United 
States, which was written to the Premier of France by Benjamin 
Franklin. It is as follows : 

Paris, December 23, 1776. 
Sir: — We beg leave to acquaint Your Excellency that we are appointed and 
fully empowered by the Congress of the United States of America to propose and 
negotiate a treaty of amity and commerce between France and said States. The 
just and generous treatment their trading sliips have received by a free admission 
into the ports of the kingdom, with other considerations of respect, has induced the 
Congress to make this offer first to France. We request an audience of Your 
Excellency, wherein we may have an opportunity of presenting our credentials, and 
we flatter ourselves that the propositions we are instructed to make are such as will 
not be found unacceptable. Your Excellency's most obedient and most humble 
servants, B. Franklin, 

Silas Deane, 
Arthur Lee. 

One may see dozens of royal autographs to State papers of His- 
torical interest and also the autographs of all Sovereigns of Foreign 
countries now reigning. 

In the first case on the west wall one may see the original 
Treaty with Great Britain, by which the United States of America 
secured their Independence. The signature of George III. is shown. 
The Treaty was done at Paris on November 30, 1782. In the same 
show case is the Treaty of Alliance with France signed by King Louis, 
February 6, 1778. Other Treaties of rare historical interest may be 
seen in the center show case, as follows : The original exchange copy 
Treaty of Amity with Great Britain, signed by George III., November

1800, the signature of Napoleon Bonaparte, the First Counsel, is shown

Commerce with the Sultan of Turkey, May 14, 1862 ; the original 
Treaty with the Netherlands, May 22, 1800, and a whale's tooth sent 
as a Treaty by the King of the Fiji Islands. The wax seals securing 
the pages of these treaties are particularly interesting and the engrav- 



CINCINNATI CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION. 47 

ing on the gold and silver boxes which contain the seals are well worth 
your attention. 

The second medal case contains thirty-nine bronze medals voted to 
various Officers of the Army and Navy in commemoration of their ser-

the Northwest Territory of which this Centennial Exposition comme- 
morates the event ; also, a rare old book, printed in the year 1493 at 
Nuremburg. 

On the center wall space may be seen one of the most reliable por- 
traits of President Cleveland. This is the portrait about which an inci- 
dent occurred during one of the early days of the Exposition, when 
one of the citizens of Cincinnati criticised the character and style of 
the frame which then surrounded this portrait and requested permission 
to purchase, at his own cost, as handsome a frame as the city of Cin- 
cinnati could produce. The gift may now be seen enclosing the 
President's portrait. To the right and left of the President's portrait 
may be seen handsome photographs of the Executive Mansion, Wash- 
ington, the Capitol, the State, War and Navy buildings, the Treasury 
Department, the Interior Department, the National Museum, and the 
Smithsonian Institute, all of Washington City. Below the portrait of 
President Cleveland maybe found the portraits of all the Presidents from 
George Washington to Grover Cleveland, the autographs of all the Pre- 
sidents appearing below each of their portraits. The flag of the President 
of the United States is on the wall to the extreme right, adjoining which 
a collection of United States passports may be seen. On the south wall 
in the center may be seen a portrait of the Honorable Thomas F. 
Bayard, Secretary of State ; to the right and left of the Secretary 
Bayard's portrait there are portraits of the Secretaries of State from 
Thomas Jefferson to date; below is a large photograph showing the 
recent Fisheries Commission as grouped after the completion of their 
labors in Washington City. Another interesting feature of the exhibit 
is a large collection of letters from various Kings, Emperors and Rulers 
of foreign countries to President Cleveland. Thus the late Emperor 
William of Germany addressed the President as follows : 

WILLIAM BY THE GKACE OF GOD, GEEMAN EMPEEOK, KING OF 

PRUSSIA, ETC., ETC., ETC., 

TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 

Gkeat and Good Friend : 

I hereby inform you that I have seen fit to appoint to another position the 
Chamberlain and Counselor of Legation von Alvensleben, who, for some time past, 
has been accredited to the Government of the United States in the capacity of 
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, and to recall him as I do by 
this letter, from his present post. Entertaining the hope that Envoy von Alvens- 
leben has succeeded, during his sojourn in the United States, in meriting your ap- 
probation, I shall not fail to appoint as his successor, one who will earnestly 
endeavor to maintain and draw closer our friendly relations with the L'nited States, 
to which I attach a high value. In the meantime, I gladly avail myself of this 
occasion to assure you of my very distinguished consideration.

TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 

Great and Good Friend : 

I hereby inform that it has pleased Divine Providence to call away from 
this world my dearly beloved and honored father, Ilis Majesty William, German 
Emperor, King of Prussia, who died on Friday, the 9th inst., at half past eight 
o'clock A. M. Confidently hoping that you, Mr. President, will feel an interest in 
this painful event, I notify you, at the same time, that I have now .iscended the 
throne of my ancestors, whereby the German Imperial dignity, which is connected 
with the crown of Prussia, lias been transferred to me. It shall bo my earnest en- 
deavor to maintain and strengthen the good understanding between Germany and 
the United States of x\.merica, for whose prosperity and welfare I entertain the best 
wishes, and I shall avail myself of every opportunity to give you, Mr. President^ 
evidences of my distinguished consideration.

such as is used for the determination of latitude, and telegraphic differ- 
ence of longitude, and comprises the following instruments : Zenith 
Telescope, forty-six-inch Transit, Prismatic Transit, Zenith Sector, 
Artificial Horizon, Chronograph, for noting observations, and the Per- 
sonal Equation Apparatus. This last instrument was designed by Prof. 
J. E. Hilgard, late Superintendent of the Survey, and is the first of the 
kind made. By it the difference between the true time of the occurrence 
of an event and the time noted by an observer can be determined. This 
is called his " Personal Equation." 

TOPOGRAPHY. 

Two Plane Tables of difierent sizes are shown. The triangulation 
of an area to be surveyed having been completed so as to furnish points 
sufficiently close for the topographical survey, they are plotted upon a 
projection in such a position upon the plane table sheet as to include 
areas with the best points. • «

United States Life-Saving Service 

Lieut. C. H. McClellan, in charge. 

A graphic exhibition of this interesting branch of the Government 
Service is made. It consists of all necessary surf, beach, signal and line 
apparatus used in saving lives from vessels wrecked on the coast ; speci- 
mens of cannon, for firing projectiles with shot-line attached; a modern 
life-saving boat. Life Car, Breeches Buoy, Beach Apparatus Wagon, 
models of different life-saving boats, code of signals, ropes, blocks, life 
jackets, swiming suits, and all other apparatus used in this great work 
of humanity is exhibited. To further illustrate the practical Avork of 
the Service there are shown oil paintings and black and white sketches. 
The cannon used in the Service is of small calibre and is known as 
the Lyle gun. With this gun a line can be thrown over a vessel in 
distress at a distance of five hundred yrads from the shore. It is used 
only when the surf is so bad and the sea so rough that the life-boat 
cannot be used. 

The first mortar and ball ever used in the Service is exhibited. On 
the occasion of its first use two hundred and one lives were saved by its 
instrumentality. 

The life-saving boat, one of which may here be seen, is of modern 
construction. It is built with air-tight compartments, will right itself 
in the nastiest sea, if upset, and it is self-bailing. 



The exhibit of the War Department is an excellent one. It com- 
prises most of the modern weapons and implements of war, modern 
machine and magazine guns, models of modern fortifications, specimens 
of medieval weapons and curious relics and trophies from the battle 
fields of the Revolution, the war of 1812 and the war of the Rebellion.

the instruments used in a Hydrographic survey, such as plane table, theo- 
dolite, sextants, artificial horizon, telemeter, protractor, beam compasses, 
metre scale, heliostat, sounding machines, leads and lines, patent logs, 
steel tape, &c. The portable observatory and accompanying instruments 
Avhich have been used by this office in the telegraphic determination of 
longitude and have already been set up in 51 different places in Europe, 
Asia, Africa, and North and South America. The house is in. sections 
and can be put together by two men in one hour. A full method of chart 
construction is shown, the whole process step-by-step ; first, by a series 
of 10 large photographs showing the different operations of Hydrographic 
surveying by the officers and men of the U. S. S. " Banger " on the 
West Coast of lower California and which represent the different stages 
of the work. 

There are a series of plans and copper plates showing the methods 
of chart construction from the first plotting of the survey on the rough 
sheet by the surveyors, to the finished engraved chart as issued to 
Mariners from the Hydrographic office. There are a score or more of 
beutifully engraved charts representing the best specimens of the work 
of the Hydrographic office. There are two charts of special interest, 
being printed on plaster of paris ; they are beautiful specimens of the 
Engravers art, the smooth white glossy surface of the plaster showing 
the fine quality of the work to perfection. There are also two large 
photographs of ice bergs, a large chart of Baffins Bay and the Artie 
regions penetrated by Grreely. and party. A very noticable feature of

much information as possible of timely interest and value to Mariners. 
It is issued monthly and contains a meteorological forecast for the cur- 
rent month. One of the special objects of this publication is to keep 
track of derelict A^essels, ice and other obstructions to navigation. There 
are supplements to this publication which are issued weekly giving the 
latest information. There are also the meteorological charts of the dif- 
ferent Oceans for each month of the year, giving graphically a result of 
the meteorological observations for each five degrees square. The sym- 
bols give the average force and direction of the wind, height of barometer, 
the number of storms, the amount of fogs, etc., and represent the average 
results of many thousands of observations. A quantity of blank forms, 
journals, etc., furnished by the office to ship masters for recording this 
data is shown ; as also bound copies of notices to Mariners, sets of light 
lists for all parts of the world, portfolios containing complete sets of 
Maury's wind, current and thermal charts, beautiful to look at and 
perplexing to the uninitiated, make up in all a most creditable exhibit.

dropped daily over the Elm Street entrance of the Park Building by the 
same signal. A gong near the fountains in Park Building and one on 
the Bridge over the Canal in Machinery Hall strike the time auto- 
matically on receipt of the time signal. 

There are also on exhibition maps illustrating the distribution of 
time from the Naval Observatory, and the roads using the various stand- 
ards of time ; photographs and cuts showing the details of the time sys- 
tem used by Naval Observatory ; photographs of the sun during the

Agriculture, we find the — 

SECTION OF PRE-HISTORIC ANTHROPOLOGY 

With its rich collections of crude and polished stone and bronze 
implements, telling plainly the story of man's progress from a lower to 
a higher civilization. It contains six cases divided longitudinally to 
show separately the advance made by man in each of the principal 
countries of the world. Great Britain is placed at the top, and beneath, 
in the order named, are France and Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, the 
Scandinavian countries, Asia, Africa, Oceanica, and at the bottom, the 
United States. The cases are also divided perpendicularly, that is across 
the stream of time, to show the various epochs of human civilization 
during the pre-historic ages. In addition to the stone and bronze im- 
plements may be seen a model of a Swiss lake dwelling; a skeleton of a 
cave bear, man's greatest enemy during the period when he lived in 
caves ; and maps, showing the distribution of populations in pre-historic 
times. At the entrance to this alcove are several cases of crude stone, 
ivory, bone and metal implements ; the methods of fastening them to 
bandies being especially worthy of note. 

Adjoining this exhibit on the right is the — 

SECTION OF ETHNOLOGY. 

The central idea of this section is man ; and in the center of the 
space is a case showing the chemical constituents of the human body. 
It shows the exact quantity of each of the various solids, liquids and 
gases in a man of 154 pounds weight. On the opposite side of the same 
case is a series showing the daily income and expenditure of the human 
body ; also a day's rations, based upon the average quantity issued to 
the armies of the world ; and a series showing the chemical constituents of 
a loaf of bread. On the wall to the right may be found a diagram showing 
the classification of mankind into races, and colored maps showing race 
distribution over the earth's surface. In the rear are a series of casts of 
heads of the various semi-civilized people of the old world; also figures 
showing the characteristic costumes of the various nationalities, in- 
cluding Chinese, Arab, Eskimo, and Indians of various tribes. Also 
colored photographs giving profile and front views of prominent mem- 
bers of each of the more important tribes of North American Indians. 
The life and habits of these Indians are shown in adjoining cases by 
specimens of their implements and utensils, including bows and arrows, 
war clubs, tomahawks, scalps, pipes, marks, weaving and gambling imple- 
ments, dolls, games, painter's tools, etc. There is also an exhibit of

one of the early Pharaohs, a modern Egyptian brick, pomegranates, 
plants, seeds, shells and lamps from Bible lands ; fragments of the 
famous Egyptian Book of the Dead, and plaster casts of several of the 
most noted obelisks, stones and tablets containing historical inscriptions 
relating to Bible times. Among these are the Black Obelisk of Shalma- 
nezer II, the famous Rosetta stone, the Moabite stone, and the Siloam 
Inscription. Photographs of the mummy of Rameses II (the Pharoah of 
the Oppression) and of numerous other objects, including various 
mummies and mummy cases, Joseph's well, the Egyptian pyramids, and 
cylinders containing Assyrian historical inscriptions, are also exhibited. 

Continuing to the right we come to the — 

SECTION OF TRANSPORTATION. 

It begins with a human being carrying its own burden ; in the pack- 
mule the load is transferred to the animal, and in the treveau it is divided 
between the animal and the ground ; next, as in the reindeer-sled, the 
Eskimo dog-sled and the wagon, it is transferred to a separate vehicle and 
the animal merely draws it.. The second case is devoted to the methods 
of transportation as employed by the early settlers of Ohio. It includes 
models and pictures of the old style stage coach, conestoga wagon, current 
ferry-boat, river flat or pole boat, passenger canal boat, and the steamer 
Orleans, which was the first steam vessel on the Ohio river. The next 
case shows the methods of transportation in foreign countries, including 
Peru, Chili and China, and accessories to transportation such as snow- 
shoes, an elephant harness, saddle and goad, and horse saddles from 
Siam and Japan. At the end of the alcove are shown pictures and 
specifications relating to the beginning of steam-boat transportation. 
The rear case on the opposite side is devoted to the development of the 
railroad passenger coach, and the adjoining one to the development of 
the locomotive, including the horse locomotive or tread mill and the sail 
car of the B. & 0. railroad, as well as many of the earliest forms of 
steam locomotives. In the center of the alcove is a series illustrating 
the evolution of the rail, and a map showing by decades the progress of 
railroad construction in the United States.

OiNTARIO MINERAL EXHIBIT. 




Ontario, the chief cf the x^rovinces forming the Dominion of 
Canada, our northern neighbor, i:, f.rst cf all an agricultural country, 
and one of the finest in the ^vorld — the timber and mineral interests, 
though very important, occupying only subordinate places. The govern- 
ment of Ontario, however, when accepting the invitation to participate 
in our Centennial Exposition wisely concluded to take advantage of the 
occasion for the purpose of showing outsiders some of the results 
achieved by the innumerable public and private mining explorations 
that have been carried on during some years in several portions of the 
province. It is not too much to say that tiic exhibit made has proved 
quite as much a matter of astonishment to the average Canadian cs of 
w^onder to Americans generally. 

Here, we have rich ores of nearly all the economic minerals in 
common use, and not a few of those that ra-e comparatively rare. 

Iron cf first-class quality is shown by Wylie & Co., Carleton Place ; 
Kingston and Pembroke Mining Co., Kingston ; Hart and Paget, Perth ; 
T. D. Ledyard, Toronto ; ^Vm. Coc, Madoc ; Wallbridge, Belleville ; T. 
P. Pearce, Belleville; Donaldson and Shannon, Mississippi ; Calabogie 
Mining Co., Perth; Allison and Piatt, Adolphustow^n ; Wm. Jenkins, 
Madoc; B. C. Clute, Belleville ; McKellar Bros., Ft. William; W. C. 
Caldwell, Lanark ; and Thos. Frood, Sudbury. 

The Ontario Mineral Commission reported recently of the Atic-okan 
Mine, K. S. of Lake Superior, that the vein is from 100 to 150 feet in 
width, is fully a mile in length, and yields by analysis from 63 to 70 per 
cent, of the best Bessemer steel ore known to exist in the w^orld, it bein<'- 
almost wholly free from deleterious ingredients. 

The specimens of copper ore are among the finest that can be 
produced. Some of them are of alm.ost perfect purity. They are mainly 
from the mines of the Canadian Copper Co., Sudbury; the Bruce Min- 



OZ OFFICIAL GUIDE OF THE 

ing Co.; P. McKellar, Ft. William; R. C. Sharratt, Perth ; Drury Mine, 
Nipissing; Waquekobing; J. Mclntyre, Ft. William; Thos. Frood, 
Sudbury ; and those of the Hon. C. A. Ray of Rochester, N. Y 

Gold ores shown, give by analysis, from $15 to $5,000 per ton. These 
are exhibited by McKellar Bros.; Geo. and Jos. Hope, Marmora; 
Stevens, Newberry and Rothwell, Detroit ; J. Mclntyre ; Jacob Hen- 
nesy. Sultana Mine; Keewatin Mining Co.; Winnepeg Consolidated, 
Lake of the Woods ; A. Matheson, Rat Portage ; 0. Donnais, Pt. Ar- 
thur ; R. Bunting, Woodchuck Mine ; and Wm. Gibbons, Boulder 
Island, Lake of the Woods. 

Telluroides of Gold and Silver, a rare combination, are shown from 
the Huronian Mine, Thunder Bay. These yield upwards of $5,000 per 
ton. 

The exhibit of silver has never been surpassed at any Exposition. 
Thunder Bay District is especially prominent in this line ; many millions 
of dollars' worth of the precious metal have been extracted from the 
ores of this region. The Beaver Mine alone yielded $300,000 last year 
— the ores on exhibition boing worth from $5.00 to $20,000 per ton, some 
•of them being almost pure. Other exhibits from celebrated mines are 
those of the Badger, Silver Mountain, Silver Islet, 3 A., Rabbit Moun- 
tain, Thunder Bay and Duncan Mines. 

Many of those who exhibit gold show silver yielding from $10 to 
$2,000 per ton. Other exhibitors are Messrs. T. Woodside, Pt. Arthur ; 
A. L. Russell, Pt. Arthur ; A. Gill, Pt. Arthur ; J. A. Saucier, Pt. 
Arthur; Jacob Beck, Ashland, Wisconsin; and the Rabbit Mountain 
Mining Co., whose head office is at St. Paul, Minnesota. 

Most of the lead and zinc is fairly rich in silver, also two remarkable 
samples are shown by J. & C. Russell, from Calumet Island. They con- 
tain 15 per cent, of lead, 44 per cent, of zinc and $49 of silver per ton. 
The Frontenac Mining Co., Kingston; W. H. Wylie, Carleton Place; 
J. &C. Russell, Renfrev/; McKellar Bros., Ft. William ; and J. Mclntyre, 
Ft. William take the lead. The " great lode " of the Zenith Zinc Mine, 
on Nipissing Bay, is one of the most extensive known in America. It 
occurs in segregated lodes of from two to sixteen feet wide, and yielding 
from 50 to 60 per cent, of metallic zinc. 

The specimens of mica are magnificent. They are chief!}" from the 
mines of D. G. McMartin, Stanleyville ; J. Smith & Co., Sydenham ; 
W. Martin, Kingston ; and D. E. K. Stewart, Madoc. 

Notable among the marbles, are those of the Hungerford Marble 
Co., Toronto ; James E. Harrison, Bridgewater ; J. Mclntyre, Pt. Arthur; 
and the Penessie specimens from Wolf Lake. 

Want of space precludes more than mere mention of the splendid 
granites of the Canadian Granite Co., Ottawa, the serpentines of the 



CINCINNATI CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION. 83 

same firm ; and the arsenic, graphite, asbestos and actinolite, which add 
so much to the richness and variety of the collection. 

The display of baryta, or heavy spar has never been surpassed at 
any exhibition. There is nearly half a ton of this mineral shown, of 
unexampled purity. It is from McKellar Island, Lake Superior. The 
vein is from 39 to 70 feet in width, enclosing three lodes of the mineral 
varying from one to twelve feet in thickness. 

All the salt is from that portion of the province included within the 
counties of Bruce, Huron and Lambton, on Lake Huron. It is procured 
from pure brine of great strengh, pumped from wells upwards of 1,000 
feet deep. G. McEwen, Hensall ; Jos. Williams, Goderick ; the Elar- 
ton Salt Works, Warwick ; Gray, Young and Sparling, Seaforth ; Ogil- 
vic and Hutchinson, Goderich ; F. L. Rodgers, Brussells ; J. J. Coleman, 
Seaforth; and Exeter Salt Co., Exeter, are the chief exhibitors. 

Ontario appears to ride in phosphate of lime, which is the basis of 
the best fertilizer ever placed on the market. 

This mineral is found in great quantities in the country lying be- 
tween Kingston and Ottawa. One immense piece, containing upwards 
of eighty per cent, phosphate, is from the mine of James Foxten, Syden- 
ham. G. W. CleirheAV, of Kingston, Hart & Paget, Perth, and Smith & 
Co., Sydenham, all exhibit samples, which, b}^ analysis, give from eighty 
to eighty-five per cent. It is in active demand and is exported mainly 
to Boston and Liverpool. 

There is no lack of first-class building stone in Ontario. Its lime- 
stones, as shown by P. A. Johnson & Co., St. Davids; R. Mclnnes, 
Owen Sound; Co-operative Stone Co., Thorold ; John A. Tallman, 
Beamsville ; David Kennedy & Son, Guelph ; T. J. Kilpatrick, Kings- 
ton; and Dr. Robertson, of Milton Stone and Lime Co., Milton, attest 
the high quality of the material in question. 

The same may be said of sandstone and freestone, beautiful speci- 
mens being shown in cube form from Vert Island, by the Chicago and 
Yert Island Stone Co., Port Arthur ; P. A. Johnston, St. Davids ; C. F. 
Gildersleeve, Kingston ; K Chrisholm, Brampton ; and the Milton Lime 
and Stone Co., Milton. 

Material for the manufacture of brick and fine terra-cotta is also 
abundant. First-class bricks are shown by M. Curtis & Sons, Peter- 
boro' ; W. Tallman & Son, Beamsville ; Smith Bros., Pt. Elgin ; C. 
Lethbridge, Owen Sound ; W. J. & W. White, Owen Sound ; W. Nich- 
olson, Merrickville, and the Milton Brick and Terra-Cotta Co., of which 
Mr. Wyatt, Milton, is manager. 

An ingeniously constructed self-flushing drain-trap is exhibited by R. 
Carroll, of Toronto ; and the specimens of ornamentnl tcrra-cotta from 



84 OFFICIAL GUIDE OF THE 

the works of the Hynes Co., Toronto, are among the best produced on. 
this side of the Atlantic. 

Messrs. L. H. Johnson, Caledonia ] E. B. Borron, Owen Sound ; J. 
McEwen, Owen Sound ; Oliver C. Brown, Owen Sound ; John H. Tall- 
man, Beamsville ; Milton Stone and Lime Co. ; Kennedy & Son, Gruelph; 
I. Battle, Thorold ; B. J. Doyle, Owen Sound ; W. G. Allan & Son, 
Marlbank, and W. Feeny, Madoc, show very fine samples of gypsum 
and marl. 

Besides the foregoing, the Ontario Exhibit has a number of cases 
containing choice cabinet specimens from the private collections of John 
Notman, Esq., Toronto, and W. G. Kidd, Esq., Kingston. These in- 
clude many beautiful crystals of the common minerals, and a number of 
finely polished precious stones, such as agate, garnet, amethyst, jasper, 
sardonyx, etc., etc. 

The wall space is occupied by instructive maps and charts, explana- 
tory of geological deposits and mining locations. A glance at the latter 
enables one to see in a moment the distribution of mining lands from 
the Lake of the Woods to the Valley of Ottawa, and by means of the 
former the various systems and formations of geological time are made 
plain to the intelligent observer. 

Deserving of special mention is a large chart " showing northern 
limits of the principal trees of Canada, by Dr. Bell, of Ottawa." It is 
drawn by hand from special notes and personal observations, and is ex- 
ceedingly instructive. 

Particularly attractive to analytical chemists are the beautifully 
colored lithographic plates of " Blow-pipe Reactions on Plaster of Paris 
tablets, by E. Haanel, Victoria University, Cobourg." 

The gentlemen in attendance are assiduous in their desire to give 
enquiring visitors all the information possible. Handsome sixty-four- 
page catalogues have been prepared, containing an almost complete list 
of the Exhibit, and these are distributed freely to interested persons. 
Copies are mailed free to any address on application, and as the pamph- 
let contains not only a list of the specimens on exhibition, but a chapter 
on ^' Ontario's Mineral Resources," and an abstract of the laws relating 
to the mineral lands of the province, it is well worthy of being procured 
and kept on hand for reference.

TOPOGRAPHICAL MAP OF OHIO. 

(Designed and Constructed by Adolph Leue.) 

This map is located in the center of the Ohio Exhibits, and is justly 
the center of attraction there. Topographical maps are no novelty, but 
this one, which is universally pronounced a correct representation of 
the topography of Ohio, has features of its own — larger than any map 
ever made (it is IT feet square), bold in its outlines, and not covered 
with too many names. It does not bewilder the eye. It furnishes just 
the information of Avhich rann}' people stand badly in need — the general 
aspect of the State — the flowing streams representing the principal 
water-courses of the State, and the burning gas, showing the location of 
the more important natural gas fields, give life to the whole. " It is the 
State in miniature, ingeniously carved out of stone," as a visitor re- 



136 CINCINNATI CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION. 

marked. The fact, however, is that it is built of the same material as- 
that of which our artificial stone pavements are made, cement and sand. 
About twenty barrels of Portland cement and twenty or more cart- 
loads of sand were used in its construction. 

Buried just beneath the surface is the hydrant, which supplies the 
streams with water. It consists of a large lead tube about twenty-four 
feet long, from which numerous smaller tubes, which aggregate in 
length more than one hundred feet, branch out in every direction. 
Ordinary gas pipes also buried under the surface furnish the material to 
indicate the natural gas fields, of which there are six. It may be men- 
tioned here that Mr. Leue is constantly besieged by people from various 
parts of the State in which gas has been discovered, asking him to 
indicate the existence of natural gas in their respective places. 

The water-shed between the St. Lawrence and the Ohio Rivers, 
with its swamps or wet prairies is plainly shown, as are also the divides 
between the tributaries of the Ohio, the rocky and hilly portions of 
Eastern and Southern Ohio, along the Ohio River are well represented.. 
"All of this," said Mr. Leue, "should be devoted to practical forestry." 

Another interesting feature of the Map is the representation of the 
original land division of Ohio by colors ; there is Symmes' purchase, 
the Ohio Company's purchase, the Virginia Military Land, the U. S. 
Military Land, the Western Reserve, the Fire Lands, and Congress 
Lands, which are explained by a legend in the southeast corner of the 
Map.
